Beaches

You can soak up the sun, lay in the sand or go for a swim at one of Petawawa’s various beaches along the Ottawa River. Petawawa Point offers a stretch of sandy beach, canoe and kayak rentals and a place to launch a boat. The Ottawa River stretches for miles and the islands across the channel resemble the Georgian Bay area which is a great place to explore in your canoe or kayak. Just up river you will find Black Bear and Kiska Beach which are located on Garrison Petawawa and are open to the public.
